      ABSTRACT

      Most of the contemporary gay imaginary has assumed the heteronormative canons of the hegemonic masculine body determined by the health/fitness imposed parameters, based on youth and hyper-muscularity. While female prostitution is eminently visible, male prostitution – which in Europe involves mainly Eastern European boys – is characterised by invisibility and discretion. This chapter aims at analysing the abject bodies of elderly gay men in contrast with the marginal yet desired bodies of Eastern European male hustlers in the European films Eastern Boys (Robin Campillo 2013) and Brüder der Nacht (Patric Chiha 2016). The chapter also addresses the impact and effects of ageism within the male gay community, while highlighting the responsibility of gay media in the creation of an unreachable ideal of youth and in the objectification of young male bodies, which in turn become invisibilized in the male prostitution scene.
